Abstract
Notes that augment an earlier essay on R. S. Williams’ botanical activities and the distribution of his collections from Bolivia and Peru are presented. Twelve species based on Williams’ vascular plant collections are added to a catalog that was previously published. Synonymies of an additional 22 taxa are corrected or updated. Notes also are provided concerning the typification or orthography of two species.
